Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Future Land Use Map designation from AGRIC to RES 6 on a 17.01 acre parcel to allow the development of this vacant property as a tiny home development.
A companion rezoning application has been submitted accompanying this request to change the zoning classification from RRMH-1 (Rural Residential Mobile Home-1) to TR-3 (Mobile Home Park) on the 17.01 acre subject property (24Z00005).
North of the subject property is vacant, zoned RRMH-1 and AGRIC FLU. To the east and west of the subject property are single-family, site-built homes, zoned GU/RRMH-1, both with AGRIC FLUM designations. To the south, the Hidden Lakes subdivision with one-half acre lots for mobile homes has a RES 2 FLUM designation. Several lots are owned by Brevard County and have a PUB-CONS FLUM designation due to the presence of wetlands. These lots have TR-2 zoning.
The applicant has submitted a Binding Development Plan (BDP) limiting the maximum density to two units per acre and the minimum lot size to one-quarter acre. In addition to mobile homes, the TR-3 zoning would allow construction of tiny homes and/or tiny homes on wheels.
Subsequent to this application being received, a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted land clearing and alteration activities, including in wetlands. There are Natural Resources Code enforcement cases pending on three of the six parcels included in this request.
The applicant has provided a concept plan, attached. The Board should be aware that this concept plan is non-binding and should be used for informational purposes only; it has not been reviewed for conformance to County regulations.
The Board should consider if the request is an introduction of RES 6 into the area. The Board may also consider if the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area.
On August 12, 2024, the Local Planning Agency heard the request and unanimously recommended denial of the request based on concerns for the impact on Hog Valley Road with the density increase.
Please note: The Board’s action on this application is independent to the rezoning and acceptance of the BDP, which limits the density.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Once filed with the State, please return a copy of the ordinance to Planning and Development.
